Scott Daniel Strickstein is a Brooklyn based artist, best known for his innovative ceramic-coated metal mesh that can be sculpted and draped. His studio Scott Daniel Design, offers contemporary lighting and furniture celebrated for these highly textural surfaces.
Scott spent much of his youth in Detroit, puzzling over blueprints during visits to construction sites with his father and watching his mother design and create clothing for the apparel industry. While attending Cranbrook High School, he took an elective in ceramics and was immediately fascinated by manipulating a material that could respond to touch. After earning a B.A. in political theory at Michigan State University, he returned to art, receiving his B.F.A. from the College for Creative Studies in Detroit.
Scott Daniel Design launched in NYC in 2010. Inspired by the idea of alchemy, his signature technique balances the inherent imperfections of organic elements with the precision of machined components, all while maintaining an intimate, hands on approach.
